I would like to travel soon with my 7 week old baby to Canada so he can see his grandparents. This will be a 22 hr flight via airplane! How soon can I travel and how I carry him with me conveniently? car seat, stroller what kind, backpack carrier? Anyone tried travelling w a newborn- can u give me tips


Answer
Oh wow i will be travelling from Canada hopefully within a week so her grandparents can see her and that will 22 hours of flight too but the difference is she will 4 months actually i wanted to go since she was 1 month but passport took some time. well the advices i got and after searching on different websites i came to know that:
When you get your tickets just ask them if there is anyway they can give you the seat where you can hook a bassinet up for the baby.
Take lots of diapers, pacifier, wipes, 2 to 3 change of cloths,
Make sure you take a soft blanket of your lill one.
Please don't drug the baby with Benadryl it can create more problem for you because sometimes babies get cranky.
Just make sure that u are feeding the kid (either bottle or breast feed) at the time of take off and landing so that he/she isn't cranky due to air pressure.
Btw dont worry your baby will be sleeping most of the time :)
Good luck!

What should I bring when travelling with my baby?

My baby will be five months old when I travel and I will be out of the conuntry for a month. What should I bring with me?


Answer
Hopefully you are nursing. Then you don't have to deal with worrying about water quality or hauling formula.

If you us formula- use POWDER...and only bottled water....and insist the bottles be brought to you UNOPENED so you can see the seal....then you know they weren't refilled.

Bring orajel and baby tylenol...and any over the counter medication you use for baby. You don't want to need to rely on meds in another language.

Carry diapers for a week and wipes. Don't drag a months worth. Every country has diapers. Lay in your stock as soon as you get there. Put the wipes in a ziploc bag- less space.

Disposable bibs.

Only 2-3 SIMPLE toys.

Car seat. This can double as a "highchair." I've even hauled car seats into movie theaters. The weight holds the seat down, and my kids were always happy to sit in their carseat if they were watching a movie.

Umbrella stroller and a baby backpack. Backpacks are easier than slings when they are that age- and when you have luggage.

Baby will be on cereal by then....depending on where you are going, you should be able to get dry cereals. Again....watch the water!

A blanket or toy baby associates with their bed. this will make the sleeping arrangements seem more homey.

If you will be travelling across more than 1 time zone...start adjusting baby to the new schedule 2 days for every time zone you are crossing (30 minutes a day)...so your travel day is the second to last day of adjustment......don't forget to reverse it on your way back.....it's good for you, too----you won't lose time to jet lag.


Keep with you on travel days.....a bag with EVERYTHING baby would need for 3 days...and then a few more diapers. When our 3rd was a month old, my husband and I tok her across the country with us on a business trip....and rest trip for me. She nursed, so no problem there....but the airline LOST the bag with her "gear." I was so glad I had 3 days supplies for her....it took that long to get her bag back!
